[Fixed] Dashboard Template A seems broken

[LukasKG]

When I try to run the Dashboard Template A, I receive the following error message:

Does your note refer to the ‘Admin Dashboard Template’ or another dashboard sample?
If so, the problem in the admin template does not seem to have been fixed yet. What surprises me is that this template was posted as an example on two platforms a month later (on 29 April), even though it doesn’t work?!
Regardless of which dashboard is meant, it’s unfortunate because non-functioning examples are bad for marketing.
I am not simply writing this as criticism, but as support, precisely because as a user I wish Anvil success. Older examples should also be maintained and checked.

I was referring to the first template which comes up when starting a new project.

Thanks for raising

The template should now be fixed
Existing broken templates are still broken, so easiest thing is to click the Dashboard template on the home page to create a new one

The error was caused by plotly being bumped to v6, and the Dashboard had some template features that were removed in v6.
We’ve now pinned this template to use v5.

If you need to update an existing Dashboard Template, then pin plolty to 5.x in Settings → Python versions

You may also need to change the line in ServerModule1 from

anvil.plotly_templates.set_default("rally")
# to
anvil.plotly_templates.set_default("rally_dark")

Thanks for fixing the problem!
The other dashboard template is also not working (anymore). Should I create a new post for the ‘Admin Dashboard Template’ (Link)?
The following error message appears:

Yes please, a new thread would be helpful, since it seems like a separate issue. I just cloned the app and can’t see an immediate issues with it.
